Turun Sanomat asked why Kimi hasn't entered the RoC since it would be like tailor-made for him with all the different car types. Here's what Kimi had to say:

- I just don’t feel like going. They’ve asked me often. During my first years in F1 I really wanted to participate, but I never got permission while I drove for McLaren.- If the race was similar to what it used to be in the Canary islands where they drove on sand and tarmac with rally cars and others, I would join immediately.- Now when it’s in stadiums it’s a such a Mickey Mouse show that it’s nothing like it used to be. I’ve made a suggestion to the organizers that they would change it back to the old format and then I would be interested in participating.

Good ol' Kimi. I'd vote for it back in the Canary Islands too, good excuse for a holiday!

Or you can watch it live on Motors TV Hello again early weekend mornings.

Right, unless you're in the US and don't want to bother with proxies and other annoyances. Might as well support the state-side broadcasters. If they don't get decent viewership, they won't continue to invest in these things.

Is this being streamed on the RoC website like last year? i hope so but i can not see any info about it on the site. It seems strange they wouldn't stream it as a lot of people like myself don't have access to the broadcast channel for their country.
